Definite Weld On Coilover Parts List For s12 suspension

i was actually thinking that it would be better to attach some metal to the top housing that the top of the spring sits in...if you add anything to the lower perch its just going to make the rear end sit higher.

like a collar around the spring? or a lip around it?

nooo....there is this top housing thing that the top of the spring sits in....when the control arm goes down to far if you have the sleeve adjusted super low the spring has a chance of falling out of the top housing...if you were to attach some metal to the housing to make it go down further than you wouldnt have to worry about the top of the spring popping out if you went over a bump or something. This is the reason why a lot of people have used limiter straps to keep the control arm from having its full down stroke....but, there is a chance that the strap could break eventually....depending on what you use for a strap and what not. There are a lot of forces at work there...

Sam, you never measured the spring height on your GC coilovers for me.

I know, I have been busy and haven't even put the front of the car back up in the air yet. I have a weird sound coming from the front I want to check out though, so I might do it Monday on my next day off.

I got the sleeves for a Toyota since I am running sw20 shocks.

It's binding u can get a lower sandwich bearing to go under the sleeve so it can rotate freely

It sounds like its only the passenger side though...

I was talking about a collar around the bottom. Isnt that what dave or whomever was talking about being dangerous if it fell out? my bad if i got it backwards.

the collar on the bottom cant really fallout though...only the top of the spring...

Question:

I have been using the suspension kit from Megan, but the rear is all kinds of wonky, and the collars are of poor quality and siezed. I was wondering if I could use this spring/perch combo with the 's13' rear strut?

Thanks,
Dan

yes you can, just do what you would do if you were using S13 coilovers.
swap the lower mount bushing with the S12 one since its a smaller ID, and take off the upper mounts like so.

Heh, thanks! I already have the suspension installed. Im just wondering if the heights and tolerance will remain the same using the day motorsports stuff with the megan s13 strut.

yep, should be the same.
its only a spring and perch.

Rather than start a new thread, just gonna throw this out seeing as its very related...If it needs a new thread go ahead and split it

Edit* GD pics won't work... So just google penultimate on image search

Why has no one tried this? I saw it was discussed but nothing really came of it?

I've got another irs rear and a cheap flux welder I may experiment with

you mean penultimate rear crossmember?

yeah that's awesome, I can see it taking lotsa fab and money to get it right though.
i thought it would just be easier to weld some of these in and get rid of rubber bushings while I'm at it.. but that'd just take care of toe...

thank you sir and do the have to be agx cuz some on there are 40 and agx are like 100

That I do not know, I think it's for the best performance for the mod, it's recommended AGX.

I will be doing this over the summer. Hoping to start gathering parts over the next couple months. I need to know what the max height is that can be achieved with this setup. I need to have my car higher for winter driving and parking lots. I do want the adjustable setup.

Technically you can raise it up and down the full length of the sleeves...from the looks of it you could definitely have a 4x4 ride height if you wanted to for snow or like rallyx. Besides rubbing all the time I am pretty happy with my set ride height so I haven't messed with it...i might get some lolz though after seeing my car way up in the air.

That sounds like there's plenty of adjustment. What's causing the rubbing?

Speedbumps and dips and shit. :p

a friend of mine just bought an 84 (solid axle) i just want to know if the bc suspension kit would fit with an s13 front convertion   the most important of the question is would the rear setup fit ???

Whats spring rate are you guys you using for DD. i usually like driving stiff but too much to hurt my back

Me updating this with fresh links, as the OP links are dead and never "rendered" correctly, should let you know I'm up to something... though, I'm probably not going to end up using any of these parts. LOL ;)

Found what I was looking for

FYI Day Motor sports still sells the SSS springs (Cheaper shipping and stuff as well) they just moved the url, For "Front springs (Minimum 550 lbs and max 850lbs)  " http://www.daymotorsports.com/proddisp.php?ln=14667  And for "Rear springs (Minimum 100 lbs Max 400lbs) http://www.daymotorsports.com/proddisp.php?ln=14828

would these springs work on oem front shock tubes and the stock rear perches

Quick question:
How much travel do the Eibach springs offer, compared to OEM strut/spring setup?

I ask, because looking at the springs that come with the T3 weld-on kit, it looks like it seriously limits the suspension travel.

Unless I can order taller springs when I order the kit?

Once you sleeve it, Eibach will make you whatever spring you want in whatever spec you want, both rate and dimensions.

so, reading through this thread, i had a question on how adjustable the right height is, specifically for the rear. I understand this depends on what spring rate you run, but assuming you run something that's a typical daily spring rate (maybe 400 lb/in) for the rear - what kind of height adjustment can you expect? I want a slightly lower than stock height, the springs that are on my car now are too low and making the rear camber really wonky.
